Quinoa in a (curry) hurry

I think I've mentioned this thing I like to do with quinoa before, but never before have I actually written down a recipe, as really, there was no recipe, it was just the same things in roughly the same proportions. Until I wrote it all down and made it formal. There is now a recipe (yay). If you have cooked quinoa, and chickpeas to hand its super quick and its tasty.

This serves 2 if it is the centre of the meal, and 4 if there are loads of sides.Thai QuinoaServes 2 – 4

Saute the onion and garlic for about 10 minutes, until a little browned.Add in the curry paste with a splash of water and stir to combine.Continue to sauté and add the quinoa, peas and chickpeas and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.Stir in the spring onion and cilantro, then serve. This is easy to mold and looks pretty when you do.

* you know how much heat you like, and you know how hot your curry paste is as it varies between brands. Add lass then more later is a good rule of thumb.# to thaw them quickly, pour over boiling water, stand 5 minutes, drain and repeat. They’re pretty much cooked and ready to add.Remember you control how spicy you make it so don't blame me!
